1957 GibsonLes Paul Special – TV Yellow (Factory Bigsby)
This 1957 Gibson Les Paul Special in its original TV Yellow finish is an overall beauty! Featuring a factory-installed Bigsby, this guitar gives you the versatility of a vast, thick P-90 tone with vibrato for added effect. This particular example was well-played and maintained, with all original components. The neck feels fantastic, fills the palm nicely, and makes playing up and down the neck a satisfying experience. Despite the Bigsby, this guitar’s weight is comfortable and only helps with sustain! There are two small holes on either side of the bottom strap button, but these are hardly seen with the Bigsby installed. The fretboard end binding has been professionally replaced and is hardly noticeable.
